Whoosh——

The chilling wind swept past, causing the First Emperor's hair at his temples to flutter wildly.

The three Great Venerables standing before him were momentarily stunned, unable to react to the First Emperor's words that were filled with such dominance and even hostility.

They had never imagined that their opponent could utter such arrogant words.

Outnumbered three to one, yet claiming the advantage is his?

"First Emperor, have you been blinded by power? Do you truly think you are above all of us ghosts?" Da Yi suppressed his emotions, refraining from an outburst, and questioned with a frown.

Among the Five Great Venerables, his relationship with the First Emperor was considered relatively good.

Though not intimate friends, at least during the War of Chaos, when overseeing, they would sit together sipping tea and chatting, which was much better than the other Venerables, who acted like estranged beings.

Over the years of conversation, Da Yi dared not claim to fully understand the mind of the First Emperor, but he believed he had some insight into his nature.

In his view, the First Emperor was like an ethereal Immortal, uninterested in external power struggles, and he was the one who first proposed the idea of the War of Chaos, simply because he did not want to see the Fierce Ghosts constantly at war, wishing for peace in the world.

As for the pursuit of strength...

To be honest, Da Yi had never fully grasped the First Emperor's power, but he had also never seen him pursue anything to enhance his strength.

Even the Immortal Pill, known to greatly increase the strength of Fierce Ghosts, was refined for his subordinates, and the First Emperor himself had never taken a single bite.

Such a Fierce Ghost, almost saintly, how could he utter such arrogant words today?

"Da Yi, I have no intention to provoke; if you all retreat immediately, there won't be any conflict." The First Emperor's voice remained as calm as ever.

It seemed that in his heart, repelling the three Great Venerables was just a natural thing.

But to the other Great Venerables, these words sounded extraordinarily harsh.

Poseidon, already furious due to Zeus's fall, directly summoned a completely golden trident, and with a fierce swing, even the air seemed to distort.

The trident pointed at the First Emperor's head, and Poseidon shouted, "What do you think we are? Dogs that come when summoned and leave when dismissed? Don't forget, you are now alone..."

Clang——

Before he finished, Poseidon's trident emitted a crisp collision sound.

What followed was an unbearable cracking noise; in the unbelievable gaze of Poseidon and the other two Great Venerables, the Golden Trident shattered into countless fragments, falling from the air.

The First Emperor merely stared at Poseidon with his authoritative Dragon Eyes and said word by word, "No ghost can point a weapon at me; not even you can."

Boom——

With that, a full moon suddenly exploded beside the First Emperor.

Bathed in the moonlight, all the Great Qin Army went limp, kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

Their eyes grew dim, as if their bodies were now just empty shells, their true souls completely taken by the full moon.

However, the First Emperor, closest to the full moon, remained unaffected.

He merely glanced sideways at the full moon, then slowly raised his right hand and placed it upon the moon, as if casually examining an object of interest.

The next moment, he clenched his right hand abruptly.

The full moon, which appeared like a real moon, began to contract continuously, shrinking from its original size that covered the entire Great Qin to the size of a pebble, now resembling a glowing Elixir in the First Emperor's hand.

Gulp——

Then, in Yue Du's incredulous gaze, the compressed full moon was slowly placed in the First Emperor's mouth and swallowed in one gulp.

At the moment of swallowing, Yue Du could no longer feel her connection with the full moon.

This was the Dark Moon Materialization Projection she had spent centuries creating!

Something that rivaled Poseidon's Golden Trident, yet it had been swallowed just like that?

"Yue Du, your full moon is too insignificant; to me, you are but a flicker of firelight."

As the First Emperor finished speaking, an unassuming Bronze Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Still dwelling in shock, Yue Du watched as the Bronze Sword was thrown at her with an almost crawling speed.

Logically, such a slow strike could never hit anything, yet Yue Du wore an expression of disbelief.

Beside her, Da Yi and Poseidon recoiled a step back simultaneously, the shock in their eyes visible.

"First Emperor! What... what kind of monster are you!" Yue Du's voice began to tremble.

Because she realized that no matter which direction she dodged or what methods she used to defend, she had a subconscious knowledge — the Bronze Sword would undoubtedly hit her!

It had nothing to do with the speed, power, or strength of the Bronze Sword itself.

Rather than say she couldn't evade it, it was as if the sword had already struck the moment it was released, and now it was merely displaying the process again.

This was an inconceivable power!

The involved Law Ability was simply outrageous — Yue Du felt the Law of [Causality]!

This Bronze Sword wasn't thrown and then hit her; rather, the future where it would hit her existed first, and then the First Emperor threw it!
